This text examines the concept of objectivism from a philosophical perspective, characterizing it essentially as a form of "non-philosophy," regardless of how its proponents interpret it. While subjectivism derives all reality from the subject or multiple subjects, objectivism recognizes as real only that which possesses the nature of an object or is based on objects. The author traces the historical origins of this mindset, identifying Parmenides and his school as the first relatively conscious objectivists. The peak of objectivist thought was reached by the ancient atomists, who posited that only atoms and the void are truly real. This ontological reduction of reality to material objects and their interactions constitutes the core of the objectivist position. The abstract summarizes these key arguments, highlighting the fundamental distinction between subjectivism and objectivism, and maps the development of this perspective from antiquity to its most radical expression in atomist theory. It provides a concise overview of the ontological shift toward object-based reality while contrasting it with subject-oriented systems and illustrating the historical progression of this foundational thought.

Objektivismus
Z hlediska filosofického je „objektivismus“ vlastně ne-filosofie; nezáleží přitom na tom, jak takový „objektivista“ svůj objektivismus sám chápe a vykládá. Tak jako „subjektivismus“ odvozuje veškerou skutečnost od subjektu (eventuelně od subjektů, pokud nezůstává u jediného), „objektivismus“ uznává za skutečné jen to, co má povahu objektu resp. co je založeno na objektech. Parmenida a jeho školu lze považovat za první relativně vědomé (uvědomělé) „objektivisty“; jakéhosi vrcholu objektivismu dosáhli ovšem atomisté svou tezí, že „skutečné“ jsou jen atomy a prázdno.
